Agreed, but other deregulation, like the Reagan administration's efforts which deregulated some of the medical equipment or eliminated the requirements for the reporting of amusement park deaths and injuries, undercut health and safety efforts, but enriched corporations. Those are different, and largely happened outside of the arena of public debate.

A few years ago I read something in The Economist that resonates/dovetails with this article and the comments.
It basically said (I'm paraphrasing, it's all from memory) that the Bush administration and a lot of Republican senators/representatives had often confused support of free private enterprise with its subtle opposite, support of a private enterprise.
That same confusion makes appearances on TLF from time to time. CEI/AEI contibutors, that's you I'm looking at, for the most part.
